Jim recently joined the Austin Barter Club, an organization that facilitates the exchange of services between its members. This year Jim provided lawn-mowing services to other club members. Jim received the following from the barter club. Determine the amount, if any, Jim should include in his gross income in each of the following situations:
A. Jim received $275 of car repair services from another member of the club.
B. Jim received a $150 credit that gave him the option of receiving a season pass at a local ski resort from another member of the club. However, he forgot to request the pass by the end of the ski session and his credit expired.

Jim actually received the $275 car repair services from a club member and should include this sum in his gross income. However, since he did not actually receive the credit option of $150 for the local ski resort, because it expired, he should not include it in his gross income. The exchange was not complete since he did not benefit from the Ski Resort's free services.
